Best nail hole filler

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is great and handy for small nail and drilled holes. It has an easy application with the built in nozzle so you don't have to worry about a smooth cut. The pink let's you know it's still drying and will shortly change to white. Great product and compact for portability

Good product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This works wonders! It fills in nicely and is applied smoothly! It covers what it need to and isn’t hard to use. So far it has lasted and isn’t fading or looking weird on the walls.

Renter friendly DIY

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This made filling nail holes a breeze. It was easy to use and the dry time was quick. The texture was relatively smooth but sanding it helped make it flush with the wall. This made it easier to paint over. Would definitely recommend for college students or renters.

Easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone who isn’t very DIY savvy, this was very easy to use. It is pretty smooth. I think it will be minimally noticeable when I am able to paint over it.

Great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This dries super fast and is very easy to use. I’m currently in the process of moving and this fills nail holes and gouges really well and sands to be smooth.

Easy peasy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use, clear directions with a result that’s exactly as you’d expect. This spackling tube allows for very convenient and targeted application. No product is perfect and it’s certainly not spotless/unnoticeable, but this is about as good as it gets.

Anyone can use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great, very easy to use, especially for someone who does not do home repairs! Goes on pink and dries white once it's ready to be sanded and painted over, great for filling in nail holes or random dings in the wall, love this stuff!

Great nail hole filler

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The DAP drydex dry time indicator heavyweight spackling is just what I needed for filling in nail holes in my walls. It was easy to apply, filled in the holes well and love that it’s pink to see where it’s applied then will dry white. Love it!

SO Convenient, and super high quality as always fr

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used DAP DryDex for years with my walls, as my initial confidence in my vision usually does not end without many nails moved. I already knew DAP was going to work well, but this squeeze tube is a GENIUS MOVE!!! I am SO glad I don’t have to dig into a tub and overuse the spackling, it literally goes right into the nail hole and I don’t have to touch it. The pink-to-white dry time indication is also SUPER helpful for me, as I’m usually mov...

Does the job

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is great! I definitely need more practice with using it but for simple application, it works well. The dry texture feels like drywall and blends in great with the white paint. It covers well. I had some difficulty using the tip to smooth it like the packaging says. I’m happy with it, overall

As easy as lipgloss

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We normally use DAP products for filling holes but love the ease of having the pen style! Girls, it’s as easy as using lipgloss. Love that for us! It dries quickly but you do have ample time to smooth out before which is always nice so it’s not drying before you can make it look good. Coverage is the same as their usual product in the tub which was surprising because with it being thinner to be able to get out of the applicator I thought it wou...

The application process is incredibly straightforward and user-friendly, making it accessible even for those who may not have prior experience. I also appreciate the excellent coverage it provides; a little goes a long way, ensuring that I get the results I want without needing to use excessive amounts. Additionally, I was pleasantly surprised by the quick drying ti...

So easy to use!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was so easy to use! Just squeeze the tube and apply where needed. The angled applicator tip makes applying the spackle easy and mess free. I like how it goes on pink so you can see what you are doing, and then dries white. After I filled the holes, I had trouble finding them once they dried.

Easy to use and very affordable!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was surprised how easy it was to use this product. I covered about 15 holes on walls left by nails and screws and still have enough product to continue use. All you need is a good putty knife set. Drying time is super convenient. I love how the color changes when dry. Definitely recommend this product.

Worked better than planned

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Buddy managed to break the toilet paper holder. Decided to see how far I could take the hold patcher. Filled the hole and covered with an anchor mesh and have it one more thin coat. Held up well, took a while to dry though, couple of hours

Goes on pink, dries white, and takes the guesswork

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve used spackling products before, but DAP DryDex® really stands out. The built-in dry time indicator is a game changer—it goes on pink and dries white, so there’s no more guessing when it’s ready to sand or paint. It applied smoothly and filled nail holes and small dents with no hassle. I also love that it doesn’t shrink or crack as it dries. Cleanup was super easy too. This is perfect for quick touch-ups or more detailed DIY jobs. If you’r...

Super Easy & Mess-Free Fix for Nail Holes!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve used DAP products before and have always been happy with the results, and this DryDex® Nail Hole Filler did not disappoint! I usually use the larger spackle jars for bigger repairs, but this was perfect for small jobs. It goes on pink and dries white, which is such a helpful indicator for when it’s ready to paint over. This filler works really well—perfect for patching up nail holes from picture frames or thumbtack damage (especially if y...
